see document CH000483.
Answer:
To determine the IP address of
another computer or website you must either know the
computer
name or domain name and use
the ping command to ping the computer and obtain its IP address. For
example, in Microsoft Windows a user would open a
MS-DOS command window and type
"ping <computer>" where <computer> is the name of the computer or
domain name. In the below example we're pinging computerhope.com. C:\>ping computerhope.com
Pinging computerhope.com [204.228.150.3] with 32 bytes of data:
Reply from 204.228.150.3: bytes=32 time=29ms TTL=54
....
Ping statistics for 204.228.150.3:
Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 4, Lost = 0 (0% loss),
Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
Minimum = 28ms, Maximum = 29ms, Average = 28ms
